Title:
NM (proposed) iterates GPRS contexts out-of-order after initial
provisioning
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Image: #297
Device: mako
SIM: AT&T (US)
Version: 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu8 ( from https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/landing-013 )
This is a bug with the proposed NM changes for MMS provisioning.
As the updated ofono code queries both apns-conf.xml *and* mbpi, it's
possible for a large number of APNs to be provisioned.
In my case, provisioning results in seven contexts added to the ofono
gprs settings file.
NM tries the first context ( context1 ), and once it fails, instead
trying context2, context3, ... ( ie. in increasing order ), it skips
ahead to context4, and then increases again normally thru context7,
then goes back to context2. To be clear the ordering is:
context1 ( fails ), context4 ( fails ), context5 ( fails ), context6 (
fails ), context7 ( fails ), context2 ( succeeds )
As you can imagine, this takes a really long time to finish and thus
is a poor user experience.
Once the first connection has been made, NM correctly remembers the
working context and does the right thing on subsequent reboots ( ie.
it always tries context2 first ).
I will add logs as soon as I finish flashing and installing the
required packages.
